Check in was simple. Our 3rd trip to a Riu Palace and was pretty much as expected. It's a great chain. Unless you luv super hot weather, don't go there in August. The heat was brutal. I really missed not being able to go into the beach water. So beautifu but way to dangerous. My fault for booking in August... more

This is my second trip to Cabo and I decided to stay somewhere new and picked the RIU Palace. The hotel itself and the grounds were unbelievably beautiful. Great pools and gardens and a gorgeous view from just about everywhere in the place. Now, I am not the type who needs much to be satisfied on a vacation...decent service, a... more

We just returned from the Riu Palace...we stayed Sept. 5-11. ~One thing I will start off with is...Ignore ALL timeshare people at the airport!!! If you pre-booked your transfers, as we did, head straight to them...dont get stuck talking to the timeshare people, how annoying!! ~Our check-in was very quick and painless. They offer you a drink, which was very... more

If you go to Cabo, definitely check out this hotel. It's ALL inclusive. EVERYTHING; from beach towels to serving you margaritas on the beach. =] The service is unbelievable, and the hotel is gorgeous - it's all out in the open! The Riu Palace is part of a two sister hotel, right next door is the Riu Santa Fe -... more

I would have rated this resort a 5 but there were a few things that I didn't care for. Now don't get me wrong, this was a very nice place. The staff were incredible. The location was great and the food was of good quality. I do have to say that the frozen drinks seemed to be watered down. I... more

Garden areas are well manicured, pools are clean and nicely layed out. 2 Infinity pools, 2 swim up bars adjacent to each Infinty pool. Modern GYM and spa with Ocean views. One buffet restaurant and several a la carte... more

Overall I found this hotel better than your standard AI, with some area for improvement. The grounds and pools were beautiful, and the property was well kept with plenty of places to relax. It is right on the beach, but the water was too rough for swimming. No matter how early we went to make a reservation, we were never... more

Bring between $40-$60 in one dollar bills for tipping at the hotel, shuttle drivers, taxi drivers and wait staff. When ordering drink tip $1 as you get the 1st drink and that will keep the staff coming. Francisco will be on the beach outside of the hotel in orange sunglasses he can get you a water taxi over to the... more

The hotel itself is beautiful and the rooms are nice. I met my girlfriend there for a girls weekend and we booked a partial ocean view. This was a very partial view. You had to stand on the furthest corner of the balcony outside to even see the water, and at that you mostly saw the pool. The did give... more
